Here, we are concerned not with the theory of colour, but rather its practice: that is, how to combine pigments to obtain the required hues, or tints, or shades of a hue. Even so, a knowledge of the colour wheel, along with an understanding of the difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary colours will make your colour-mixing a lot easier, as will a grasp of complementary, warm and cool colours. Crafting that perfect shade of orange or pink can be a daunting roadblock for the beginner who doesn't know where to begin when putting their palette together. Thankfully, nearly all colours in the spectrum can be created from just a few basic colours. Learning the colour wheel will give you the foundation you need to produce any hue you desire.
